Environmental activists in Germany celebrated the closure of three Nuclear reactors on Saturday, marking a major victory in the country's decades-long fight against nuclear power. The reactors will be shut down following safety concerns raised after the 2011 meltdown of a nuclear plant in Japan. The decision to phase out nuclear power in Germany was made in the wake of the war in Ukraine and increased concerns over energy shortages and prices. Renewable energy is now playing a larger role in the country's energy mix, with supporters of nuclear power maintain that the reactors could be used to decrease overhead costs for German industries. It will take a long time to create enough green solutions to balance the country's needs, according to MP Klaus Wiener.
